Eternal Coals

Through short lived days and moonlit skies,In stolen looks and mollified sighs,A fire was ignited, unfaltering and true,An ash gleaming, shinning as unused.

Seasons moved, time unfurled,Winds of alter through our world.Yet hand in hand, through storm and rain,We clung to cherish, persevered the strain.

Not fair in giggling, delicate and sweet,But in hush where heartbeats meet.In each tear, in each test,Our adore demonstrated solid, stood show.

A long time wove stories, complicated threads,Moments recalled, words unsaid.Not fair energy, not fair fire,But undaunted warmth that won't lapse.

The fire of youth may blur away,Yet ashes shine in hearts that stay.Through wrinkled hands and silvered strands,Love still whispers, still extends.

No fantastic blast, no short lived flight,But consistent warmth through darkest night.For adore that endures, for adore that stays,Is adore that strolls through perpetual days.

So here we stand, another year,Through each delight, through each tear.Not bound by time, nor age, nor tide,But held in adore, still side by side.
